And where are (A)all his wonderful deeds (B)that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” 14 And the Lord[a] turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; (C)do not I send you?” 15 And he said to him, (D)“Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, (E)my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.”
